Global standards reveal that the most dangerous hazards (risk of occurrence of an event) are associated with people working at heights. These hazards vary according to the critical location and nature of work being carried out.
A safety harness works by spreading the force applied by a fall arrest system over as much of a worker's body as possible. The harness is connected to an anchorage point via a decelerator such as a shock-absorbing lanyard or a retractable lifeline. The harness specifically helps minimize internal injuries. It also allows workers to attempt self-rescue in the event of a fall, since it provides freedom of movement.

Inspection and Care
Safety harnesses must be visually inspected before each use. The use of damaged, defective or excessively worn components. Check for frayed or pulled fibers on the webbing and stitching. Also watch for discoloration; this may indicate chemical damage. Look for cracks, rough edges and distortion of any metal components.
Clean the harness with a damp sponge and a mild soap and water solution. Wipe it down with a clean towel to remove excess moisture. Allow the harness to air dry away from sunlight and high temperatures. Store this equipment where it will not come into contact with corrosive or contaminating substances.

Warning
It is not safe for a worker to remain suspended in a safety harness after a fall. Rescue by trained personnel should begin immediately to avoid suspension trauma.
